Department
of Prosthetics and Orthotics Engineering Commemorates the International Day of
Persons with Disabilities
The United Nations' International Day of
Persons with Disabilities is observed annually on December
3. Established by the United Nations in 1992, this day aims
to support individuals with disabilities by fostering understanding of
disability-related issues and promoting inclusive designs that ensure the
rights of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to raise awareness about
integrating people with disabilities into political, economic, and cultural
life.
The Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics Engineering
contributed in this day as a specialized institution dedicated to training
engineers whose primary mission is to restore functionality for individuals
with physical disabilities through prosthetic solutions. This work embodies a
deeply humanitarian purpose, marked by uplifting spirits, raising awareness,
encouraging social integration, and providing invaluable service to a vital
segment of society.
